'The Exorcist,' the original horror classic, returns to theaters this October.

Meanwhile, Fathom Events wants you to witness the horror of The Exorcist on the biggest screen possible before The Exorcist: Believer opens on October 6.

As part of Fathom Events' Fright Fest, The Exorcist returns to theaters nationwide for its 50th anniversary.

The picture opens in theaters on Sunday, October 1 at 4pm and 7pm local time and Wednesday, October 4 at 7pm local time.

The recent death of iconic director William Friedkin has rekindled interest in it.

The limited engagement highlights William Friedkin's Extended Director's Cut, sourced from the Original 1973 Cut Camera Negative with newly restored 

and remastered picture and sound in stunning 4k, removing dirt, scratches, and other defects while preserving the film's creative integrity.

Before each screening, cinema historian Ben Mankiewicz hosts a fresh special homage to Friedkin, who died on August 7 at 87, honoring his legacy.

The Extended Director's Cut includes scenes missed in the theatrical release and an alternate ending.

All viewing will include a tour of The Exorcist Locations: Georgetown Then And Now's iconic landmarks that helped bring terror to life.
